作為山東惟一的國家級新區，青島西海岸新區不僅在青島發展大局中舉足輕重，她的起勢也體現著山東乃至北方區域發展的質量。

地區生產總值位列19個國家級新區前三強，全國百強區第四名；建成全球最大海洋基因庫，獲批首個國家深遠海綠色養殖試驗區；引進世界500強投資項目107個，總數達到321個，青島自貿片區獲評“中國十大最具投資價值園區”；駐區高校達20所，在校生共18.4萬人；2021年，西海岸新區GDP突破4000億大關，繼續領跑青島十區市的同時，也成為全省首個突破4000億的區市……過去的五年，青島西海岸新區干出了高質量發展的“新區速度”，可謂是成績不斐。

未來五年，是青島西海岸新區的戰略機遇疊加期、動能轉換關鍵期、深化改革攻堅期、高水平開放加速期、城市品質躍升期，發展基礎之堅實前所未有、機遇之難得前所未有、舞臺之廣闊前所未有。

青島西海岸新區，將開啟屬于自己的又一個五年新征程。
